I won't say good morning yet as its way too early. I'm sitting on the couch, drinking coffee and watching TV. The time is 1: 27am and I've been up since 1:00am.
Just like clockwork, I usually can only sleep 3 to 4 hours each night. It used to be so frustrating but after 10 years, I've gotten used to it. I have neuropathy in my feet and the pain from that is what wakes me up. I get up to take my medication and once I am awake I can't go back to sleep. Every once in a while, I get to sleep until 3 or 4am but that is a rarity.
The good thing is that I am retired and can take a nap later if I need to. So, is anyone else like me awake and can't sleep?

I was awake at 5:30 but that is normal for me. If you have pain in your feet it is a good idea to try to keep them warm. Make sure you wear some socks.

I was awake last night when you wrote this, Sharon, but I was working on the books I'm editing for a newer author. Her series have been taking most of my time for the last three or four months and I am only just past half way done with her manuscripts... It will be a while yet before I can come back to myLot and play like I was doing!
I sleep like that, too. I've gotten used to taking cat-naps when I get tired and then back up and working on whatever I was doing before I got sleepy.

@DaddyEvil Why don't you do editing as a full time job?

@simone10 
Sleeping half an hour to an hour at a time is what I call cat naps.
Editing is a side job for me. My day job is selling cell phones and cell phone plans. That can be fun, but usually isn't. *shrug*

I'm lucky, when I go to bed I fall asleep fast and I sleep all night. I usually go to bed around 10 and I wake up at 5.. My husband is a earlier riser too, by 6 he's at the YMCA doing his daily thing...I read the paper and visit myLot with my coffee...
